So, do i get this right? I need voidheart to cause bleeding right? So it´s all about the "% can cause bleeding"? So with me currently running Soul Taker along with Jack the Axe (Causes bleeding on hit) i should be ok without a voidheart, in terms of causing mobs to bleed?


right. right. right. right. right :)
Jack should be placed in main hand

What do you guys think about the newly added Haemophilia gauntlets?
I just got them and think the work pretty good with my build so far (only lvl 60)

Im thinking about skipping voidheart completely in favor of these gauntlets (and go with added fire dmg instead of bloodlust)

I love the sound of this play style but how is this build for a beginner? What passives should i go for as I'm leveling so i know I'm on the right leveling path? I don't have much currency since I'm new to the game can i play the build with self found gear?

1. Get a Lakishu unique one handed sword as soon as you can. They're very cheap (2 alteration to 1-2 alch), It offers a built in Multistrike and will carry you through to lvl 60. In your 60's you'll want to look up Wings of Entropy if you're still broke and didn't have good luck with uniques. It's a very solid Dual Striker Axe and will easily carry you to 75+ while you build currency. It should cost an alch or 2, maybe 1 chaos.

2. Don't hesitate to get that +30 int node. You will have intelligence problems. Respec later once your jewelry makes up for it. Also, don't wear Kaom's Roots until you can max your res from just Jewelry, Belt, Gloves.

3. If you're broke, save for that Soul Taker. But get a Bringer of Rain first. It should cost you roughly 1-5 chaos for even a good non-legacy Bringer of Rain. Soul Taker will cost anywhere from 35 chaos (great deal) to 60chaos/1exalt.

4. Get Rumi's flasks last, you can get away with some Granite Flasks/Basalt Till you have enough currency after your soul takers.

POE TRADE LINKS.
NOTE: links are for STANDARD league and are examples, including offline. Change all what you want through "show search form" button. You need 1.88 APS on the axe minimum guys and jewels must have 7% max life, APS, melee damage and if you're smart you won't settle for 3 affixes, you'll want that 4th. Fill in whatever gap in defense you have, most likely intelligence and a little resistances. These jewels are the ultimate endgame gear tactic, so don't skimp on one with 2-3 attributes but Soup says it's not the end of the world if you don't plan on killing Uber Atziri or Shaper.

6. Around lv85+ you'll see that one-shots become more common with rared/corrupted maps because of mods like vulnerability, +Damage Taken and temporal chains, among others to keep an eye on. The problem is honestly just life. It's math, as my dual striker has virtually no defense except a super-high life pool and leech so you'll need 6500 life to make endgame T15+ maps reliably cleared. You'll also see your not-awesome-enough siege axes swinging wayyyy too slowly for comfort due to temporal chains curses causing you to leech less and be even less mobile. You'll be frozen/chilled too which is also best counteracted with very high life plus freeze flasks since freeze is based on life pool per single hit but as a leecher it's not always the best buffer. So once you're taking an hour to clear one corrupted t12-15 map you will start to understand that it's time to start swapping out that old gear for true endgame gear, and this is where you either love this character as much as I do to make the cut or you quit him. With my improvements to the dual striker plus Soup's refinement of him for Shaper and Uber Atziri, even a budget build can make it to tank the Guardians and even farm double Malachai or wreck Atziri at Apex...but if you're reading this then you want Uber Atziri and Shaper, so it's time to get some godly gear.

Endgame gear like mine will cost you many, many exalts mainly due to the incredible rarity of 1H siege axes like mine that do as much as most epic 2H axes lol (mine sells for 250ex in standard and legacy Soul Taker runs around 180ex and the legacy Bringer of Rain is around 20ex). This is what you need to take on Shaper. Uber Atziri can be taken carefully with the new Voidheart setup but 8000 health is agreed by Soup and I to be the safe minimum to avoid petty deaths from a single attack. Malachai isn't really considered endgame these days but for what it's worth budget voidheart dual strikers can double boss him without too much hassle and deathlessly. Uber Trio can throw you off sometimes as they can burst damage you pretty fast even after you've memorized how to kill them a lot. And Shaper is the biggest steaming terd ever lol. He's hard for every melee character but my dude does pretty well against him.

Does it matter if Jack is placed in main hand and not offhand? (sorry for the noobish question)
So is it viable if we have Jack the axe and Soul Taker?
Second, would it be a good idea to choose War Bringer for better survivability in Uber lab instead of Aspect of Carnage?
Don't be mad, just asking..
